«Great things await us».What a comforting promise of the faithful Saints especially during these troubling times before the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Teacher, I have been listening to you since the first of the year. I have been working on repenting and getting back to the temple. Thank you so much. These videos have been a hope for me to get back.
I love your teaching the scriptures sometimes it makes me cry with gladness of the fullness of the Gospel and the Restored Church of Jesus Christ. What a blessing when I found the Restored Church. I was looking for it or for it to come. I had been taught lies about Joseph Smith Jr and the "Mormon Church." I was a former Baptist minister 51 years ago and while preaching a sermon I repeated what I had been taught that the KJV-Holy Bible is the only scriptures that God has given us and I said such as the Book of Mormon. When I said that the Holy Spirit startled me with this statement "How Do You Know That Is Ture". I did not know so I was determined to find out. I obtained a Book of Mormon and while reading it I contacted the missionaries. My wife opposed me even talking to Mormons, I told her that I study and ask God you ask God to tell me that I am wrong. She changed the way she was praying and came out of the bedroom excited and said "I was praying and a light came into the room and a voice said "Your Husband Is Seeking To Serve God, Follow Him", she said I know the Mormon Church is true and I want to be baptized. My father also a former Baptist minister said to me "you have been deceived, Mormons are not Christian, I said they are Christian, have you read the Book of Mormon, no, please read it. He finally relented 4 months later and read the Book of Mormon and came to me and said he and mother know that it is true and we want to join the Church. The 1st year 14 members of my family joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. That was 51 years ago. The Church is True, Joseph Smith, Jr is the prophet of the Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ. I know that it is True. I am 83 years old and I take every opportunity to tell my story of finding the Restored Church of Jesus Christ. I am currently the Ward organist. The Ward was praying for an organist and God sent me to them. I have been off and on, depending on my calling the Ward organist for 51 years. I hope we will have a Great Organ in Heaven. Love you all.
fabulous story! I joined 52 years ago. Best decision I ever made. Congrats on other family members joining with you. NONE of mine did. They are all still Pre-Judging. But I later married in the Temple - have been married 50 years - have 5 kids & 19 grands now. Almost all in the Church. Thank you for sharing your story.
I am so thankful you are willing to spend the time to do this for us, I am a widow mostly left to study alone, and you make a great teacher. May God bless you.
What a beautiful message of hope for that courtroom day, we have a great mediator and the best defence attorney. I have so much appreciation for the atonement and the hope that brings to humanity.
I’m a disabled coal miner, You are part of my day job. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this for us. Your a bigger blessing than you will ever know.
When you mentioned v.58 and raising children during the Millennium, my mind pictured Christ tapping on the shoulder of all the women who lost their children, and they would turn around to see Christ holding them as He says, "You can have your children now. They were too pure to be raised during any other time." That was a really tender, beautiful image to my heart. Thanks again for sharing your insights and allowing the Spirit to touch my heart and mind.
What struck me most profoundly when I read verses 31 and 32 (which talk about the desolating sickness and standing in holy places) at the height of the shutdown last year was that prior to the pandemic I always associated the holy place with the temple. However when everything shut down, the temple and meeting houses were included in those closures. The only holy place available for us to stand in was our own home. It punctuated for me the necessity to make our homes holy places, indeed, because other holy places may not always be available to stand in.
And what a blessing of having our Prophet prepare us for it with a change in orientation 1-2 years before with all the adjustments made in how we live the gospel.
I have found this to be true indeed. These lessons have been a light in my home that has enhanced the holiness there. I look forward each day to pray and study with the Spirit that dwells now as a welcomed guest within the walls of my own home❤️😇
Brother Jared, please tell your family that they are also setting such a fine and strong example to many of us too. They are giving us soooo much of their time and love, as well as you. It is not just the video time, but the preparation time and editing time, the time you take away from them that they are giving to us... May they also be richly blessed for such generosity. And I know it's not easy either. I remember only seeing my husband at weekends when he worked in Europe and Egypt each week, then he would fall asleep in the chair over the weekends, exhausted. The burden on my shoulders of having to do everything else to keep the family and household running, and work fulltime too was hard.. to say the least, so I really do appreciate what your family is also sharing with us who love to listen each week to your lectures. Give them a special treat from us all too will you? They so richly deserve a treat and a huge thankyou also..
Great job! This is my favorite topic. It is the main reason for the restoration. Preparing for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ! The Book of Mormon testifies of the Restoration and the Doctrine and Covenants testifies of the Last Dispensation! Christ is coming!
I also like how he emphasizes that the New Jerusalem will be built in Jackson County Missouri. That Zion will be a real physical location as well as a state of spirituality.
Thank you Bro. Halverson for teaching the scriptures in such a way that make them come alive. I have never had the the Doctrine and Covenants explained in such a way that have brought them so close to my heart. You are such a blessing to me in my studies this year.
Brother Halverson you are a true blessing to me and my Husband. You service teaching the "Come follow me" with such inspiration has given us greater understanding. Thank you do much. I pray for you and your family that you may continue to help us all along our way on life's journey. 🤗
Thank you Bro. Halverson for another important and inspiring reminder about the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ including the Book of Mormon. Just last week a long time friend told me of some very serious sins he has been committing, but then also tried to justify it by stating his belief in some untrue things he heard recently about Joseph Smith. I then asked my friend, when was the last time he prayed, or read the Book of Mormon, or wore his garments, or went to the temple, and so on. He was unable to answer these questions. And this is a man who once served a mission and was married in the temple. It saddens me that he is choosing to justify his sins by casting doubt on the truthfulness of the church. Please be strong everyone, the adversary is real and ripping families and souls apart as fast as he can. We must put on our armor every single day, and kneel before our Maker constantly begging for His guidance and protection, and I promise that He will send angels to bear you up. God bless!
I am so grateful for the spirit and knowledge that you gift us with. I could never glean so much depth from the scriptures on my own. I love your analogies, and how you connect the scriptures to each other, You are a blessing to me.
I am a busy mom of nine kids and can I just say Thank you!!! I have been listening to you for about 4 months and I absolutely love it. I love how you teach and feel so blessed as I listen.
You outshine every Come Follow Me podcast. Your flow of the scriptural story with interpretation is smooth and inspirational. After decades of church membership and study, I'm learning about how to apply the concept of faith with a whole new vision. I haven't been so tutored since my seminary days. It's been a long wait for your experience and delivery. Thank you so much.
My feelings exactly! I have said to many: ' he teaches the gospel like no one ive ever geard before, bringing SO much relevance and practicality to the scriptures. I am deeply fed with each episode'. Thank you Brother Halverson. Prayers of gratitude for you and prayers for the blessings you need are continual!
I think the Lord is so merciful that he gives wake up calls often in our lives to put us back on track. Thanks for dissecting the fist few verses of this chapter about how Jesus is our advocate.
Is Sunday morning I feel I need to hear you to star my sabbath day and to finish the rest of this beautiful lesson. Thank you fir your special spirit I get a sense of confort and peace. I thank my Heavenly Father for having you as a mentor
Thank you for teaching me D & C 45 in a manner that these teachings are engraved upon my heart. To be “ unshaken” until my time comes to return to “ home” is the desire of my heart. Always, thank you Brother Halverson for eternal teachings
Brother Jared....your faithful insights taught in this lesson have allowed me to view my Savior with eternal gratitude. A view which I did not have so clearly before. This is wonderful to me. Thank you my good brother ❤️😇 Keep up the good work👍
I needed to hear this message today after feeling like my belief as an LDS member was being challenged by others. Born and raised as a member I strayed away as an adult living the world and it’s ways and realizing that through all I experienced there was something missing in my life which was the lord and the guidance of the holy spirit. I am relearning what I have neglected and forgotten so these courses of understanding the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants and also reading the Bible has helped me tremendously. Thank you so much I look forward to your videos.
I love to hear from people who are just sharing the struggle. Whether we are active or not, the struggle is real. But gosh this last year in California we all feel inactive until we have great gospel discussions on the sabbath. I really appreciate anyone who takes their time to help their neighbors. We are ALL neighbors on Christ 🙏
Thank you for such insightful teaching each week, I always look forward to your lessons it truly rejuvenate my spirituality. You are set apart during this time to teach and be a shepherd to saints all over the world during this trying times before the second coming of the Lord to prepare us. THANK YOU. ❤❤❤❤
You are the best doctrine teacher I have ever had. I look forward to your message every week. Thank you Brother Halverson I’m so thankful I found your presentations about The first week of January.
Brother, I listen to several podcasts and I’m so over joyed that no one is saying the exact same thing there is a definite difference in the same verses but it is the spirit that touches the soul and feeds the mind it is helping uplift one another in the feasting upon gods words there’s so much to say and my talent at expressing these thoughts is lacking. Thank you for your time and effort it is a wonderful way to get me through the day
This is such an underrated channel. The insights and teachings are so rich and they significantly help me in my personal scripture study. It's not supposed to replace perstonal study but it makes scripture study a lot more interesting. Great job and keep it up!
Truly the saints that stopped and listened to the early spread of the Word, were Unshaken. To suffer the ridicule of the "Great and spacious building", and hold fast to the Word during those pioneering times of the Restoration... are UNSHAKABLE.
Thanks for your videos every week. Behind the sacrament, and reading the conference talks again, your videos are the third best thing about my sabbath day! Thanks for your time every week!!! Love from Adelaide South Australia
I really enjoy these lessons, learning a lot more than ever, since I'm the only one in my family that enjoys the scriptures. this really hit me hard, only because I have not been active for several plus several more years. I am divided, but LDS teachings keeps pulling on my heart to keep on studying. Keep up the great work.
I treasure your teachings as I treasure the word of God. You are truly gifted and yet humble as you share your knowledge and testimony of the true Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know the Lord as I am known and I know you are truly known of the Lord being both loved and blessed. I have been taught from on high, but you teach much like the Master. You help unpack His words so well I feel like I'm back in His presence. Thanks for all your efforts, studies, time & talents you share so freely with us all. Zion has been written upon my heart, mind & soul since before my birth and you have renew the wind in my sails to help me reach that port of safety in my aging body in time to fulfill my mission here upon this earth. In the end it's about Jesus Christ and all he has done for mankind as he inspires his instruments to do his bidding before that great & dreadful day. Thanks for fanning the fire that both blows the wind and inspires. I'm a graveyard night watchman who enjoys holy places as I study with you in the heart of Salt Lake City alone at night from men, but never alone from God.
You prepared me so much with this chapter to speak at our Primary’s priesthood and temple prep night. Thank you. Your mission and calling truly is to wake up souls.
I love the subject of your dissertation. I've read a bit about Paine and his words were so disturbing about the Bible or other religious beliefs. It reminds me of a the quote by Twain: "For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weapon--laughter. Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution --these can lift at a colossal humbug--push it a little--weaken it a little, century by century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand." I am so heartened by the fact that it still stands. It's a testimony of its truth.
Nani & Paul Higa, again Thank you for another Fantastic lesson D&C 45 . Today is Paul's Birthday and listening to the scriptures is preferred to finish up the lesson. We enjoy so much by the way you teach us. We can understand very clearly and know that the Lord loves us. As he gives us every chance to come on to him. It is a beautiful day on Kauai. We Love you Brother Halverson , Stay safe wear your Mask and continue teaching the gospel and share it with everyone... Aloha
When you spoke about being a stranger here, it reminded me of a time when I was young, long before I found the church. I remember sitting in my parents home and the thought came into my head - I don't belong here, what am I here for? I didn't understand this until I joined the church at age 38 and heard the hymn ' O My Father'.
I will stand to be judge all eyes on me and I watch and hear everything I have done on earth and watching my weakness and sins .. then My Saviors stands and all eyes are on him.. when I hear your words describing this .. my heart breaks and I cry .. .. thank you brother Havelson for bringing all this alive to a point to be able to feel like if I was there in the presence of my Father and Jesus defending me through the atonement....... Thank you, God bless you and your family ... every time I listen and each time relisten over and over again "I hear Him" in deep levels.. the more I read scriptures and I hear the lessons that you teach us ..and teach me ... Thank you brother Havelson.
Use your insights to compliment our daily family scripture study. We are so grateful for all the effort, technical, spiritual, and time wise, that you dedicate to make and share these delicious spiritual knowledge. We are so grateful!
Thanks a lot for these videos. My husband and I live in Belgium and enjoy your lessons. Adding so much to our Scriptures study. Prayers from Liège Belgium
Thank you so much for the time and effort that you put into teaching us. I listen to you every week and learn more and more. I loved the story of the alarm clock. I’ve also just been called to Gospel doctrine and will look forward to your comments so that I can be a better teacher I am amazed at your knowledge and your ability to express it through scripture and your testimony. Thank you please keep having an shaken videos
I would love to see the millennium. When children won't have to live in fear nor be abused or hungry. I'd love to grow a garden when the earth is healed. Oh it would be glorious.
@@terristucki7740 it's almost impossible here too. After managing greenhouses for years I understand and know how it's just difficult to do. It takes a lot of work and God's love. Im so glad you have that. Great blessing.
Great lesson ... again. My husband and I never miss. I especially liked the active/passive voice discussion on vs 52. I also like to read 52 as a declaration with which the Jews will be very familiar - I Am: He who was lifted up. I Am: Jesus that was crucified. I Am: the Son of God.
I feel like we are one big classroom in the sky-uplifted-Almost see Enoch and his people waving to us. Thank you for your devotion Brother Halverson. Finishing anything new is an achievement. Joseph had some big words for his education but then the life experiences would have had him grow up real quick. Hope is wonderful and faith is strong and scripture study helps balance the why I choose to sink my should into all things good.
Thank you Bro Halverson for the sacrifice of your time to share these podcasts with us. Speaking of our handling of trial and persecution, 'mocking,' as we know, has always accompanied the saints in every era. As a convert I've experienced this from the beginning. What helped me were these verses from the New Testament regarding the apostles attitude to this. "Beloved think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to unto you, but rejoice inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christs sufferings; that when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye..." 1 Peter : 12,13 Also Acts :5, 40,- 42.
Thank you for all time and effort you put into these videos. I appreciate your insights and background information. I am developing a whole different attitude toward the Doctrine and Covenants. I live in central British Columbia.
I love the deep insight of the world all about us today as well as how it was during the time of Joseph Smith and the Lord's answer to help us all find our way through. So many deep but simple truths here other Christian Churches do not have and so much clarity as to what we must do to be not deceived. I note that one must be able to know and see all the wonderful inner workings and relationships of each of the Saints as we work to become of one mind and one heart within every detail of the administrated gospel of Christ as it is taught and practiced. It might be of interest to some to know that Independence, MO Stake is Celebrating 50 years of existence this year. We who live here had a wonderful celebration gathering on the green yesterday that included talent from many cultures throughout the world. We also put together a time capsule of who we are to be opened 50 years from now.
I had more time today to study scripture. I'm thankful for these videos. Christ being our mediator, the scriptures in 1 Corinthians, these touched my heart.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowlede in such a humble, simple and understandable manner. Please thank your wife and children for sacrificing time with you while you help us all on our journey back to our Heavenly Father and Saviour. My husband and I are new here but enjoy each precious moment learning together.
Thank you for all your preparation! Just finished "The Second Coming of the Lord" by E' Lund for the 2nd time. Fantastic book on par with our scripture study.
I love the way you teach! I feel your passion for what you are teaching....In your "spare" time it would be nice to have you teach the first 2 books from the Book of Mormon. I always struggle with the Isaiah Chapters. Keep up the great work you are a natural at this!
This lesson was beautiful! Thank you so much for helping me to see things in relation to how they apply to me and the ‘here and now’. I am so excited to be living in the time that prophets have foretold since the beginning of time. Having said that, I have to occasionally remind myself that faith drives out fear and realign myself to focus on the wonderful things the Lord has promised to the faithful and not get caught up in worrying about the ‘scarier’ happenings.
Bit of a coincidence, I was listening and napping in my vehicle before work. Going back to listen again, but as my alarm was going off to work, I was at the point that said "waking up" 😉
We apparently wait with eager anticipation for your every video. I had many more streaming viewers watching your video than in previous months. It would be nice, if they click to your videos directly. Yet, I appreciate that they watch by any direction they are able to connect. Again, Thanks.
I love each lesson and hopefully you can continue to make them.all of my friends and some family members enjoy watching them as much as I. I wish we could talk. You have been a great student and teacher. I love each section ❤️😊❤️🙏
Wow that went by fast!! Really enjoy your CFM lessons, thank you for the efforts to do this. I'm over the age of 32, so because of that am not "allowed" to take any Institute classes. These videos really help me, and there's no tests!!
The great and spacious building that is the only job is to criticize and make a joke of the Gospel Jesus Christ. It was even when the Lord was upon the Earth , Noah, Joseph Smith and so many others even now Satan is hard at work. Trying to change the direction of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The bad thing of it is the people that are misled and cheated out of their great inheritance. It's so sad when you have so many misleading people. I just don't want to be in their shoes when they meet our Lord at judgment time. I feel sad and heartbroken that these people would try and lie and mislead the people. They have a choice just as we do, Choice matters and your words. We are all grateful for the come follow me program. It is the Lord's work and I'm grateful for it. Stand firm on your foundation of Christ. Keep building your testimony. Pray always and read those scriptures, it is a must that you put on your armor of God daily so these fiery darts Satan's missionaries cannot penetrate. I am so grateful and privileged to be apart of this great church of Jesus Christ ! Also to be living in this great nation🇺🇸 thank the Lord we have President Nelson and a12 Apostles to lead us in these last days!
Isaiah 35:1-2 (KJV) The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God. I know the place Joesph Smith talked about and this is the year it will be revealed. Blessings Friend
Thank you so much for this wonderful lesson. It made my Sabbath day special.Thank you for your wisdom and also your wonderful humor. We are so blessed.
Brother Halverson it says “if possible, they shall deceive the very elect, who are elect according to the covenant “ It’s the “ if possible” that is so important. The scriptures speak of promises for those that are striving for sanctification and therefore it is more important to teach sanctification to become elect then to use that scripture to generate fear.
Hello Brother Jared. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to list the name of the paintings that you share in your lessons in the description box that is provided. That would be really great. thank you.
I am so very thankful for your teaching. Back in Alma 5 it was amazing to me how you put the talk from Jorge up on that section I have that talk from 2014 saved on my phone. What would you do if one minute from now you stood before the savior?
«Great things await us».What a comforting promise of the faithful Saints especially during these troubling times before the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Teacher, I have been listening to you since the first of the year. I have been working on repenting and getting back to the temple. Thank you so much. These videos have been a hope for me to get back.

Wow! @ronpalmer! What a story you have!! I love it!💕
Thanks for that conversion story.
I felt the Spirit strongly, verifying TRUTH. Thank you for sharing.
I am so thankful you are willing to spend the time to do this for us, I am a widow mostly left to study alone, and you make a great teacher. May God bless you.
The Lord I’m sure is pleased with your choices. I hope you don’t feel lonely, we are not alone in Zion nor with Heavenly Father.
What a beautiful message of hope for that courtroom day, we have a great mediator and the best defence attorney. I have so much appreciation for the atonement and the hope that brings to humanity.

So true! Also, when prophet led us in Hossana shout, at Gen con, dedicating OUR homes, as holy places. 🏡😇
Such a powerful comment! Thank you for sharing!
I have found this to be true indeed. These lessons have been a light in my home that has enhanced the holiness there. I look forward each day to pray and study with the Spirit that dwells now as a welcomed guest within the walls of my own home❤️😇
Greetings from Alaska...Thank you for your help over the last few years. I am now reactivated into this glorious work.
Brother Jared, please tell your family that they are also setting such a fine and strong example to many of us too.
They are giving us soooo much of their time and love, as well as you.
It is not just the video time, but the preparation time and editing time, the time you take away from them that they are giving to us... May they also be richly blessed for such generosity.

I am relearning what I have neglected and forgotten so these courses of understanding the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants and also reading the Bible has helped me tremendously. Thank you so much I look forward to your videos.
I’m so glad you’re back, and found out that the arm of The Lord is still stretch out to you.😍
I appreciate your openness here. It strengthens my testimony. Thank you for sharing.
I love to hear from people who are just sharing the struggle. Whether we are active or not, the struggle is real. But gosh this last year in California we all feel inactive until we have great gospel discussions on the sabbath. I really appreciate anyone who takes their time to help their neighbors. We are ALL neighbors on Christ 🙏
Thank you for such insightful teaching each week, I always look forward to your lessons it truly
rejuvenate my spirituality. You are set apart during this time to teach and be a shepherd to saints all over the world
during this trying times before the second coming of the Lord to prepare us. THANK YOU. ❤❤❤❤
You are the best doctrine teacher I have ever had.
I look forward to your message every week.
Thank you Brother Halverson I’m so thankful I found your presentations about The first week of January.
Brother,
I listen to several podcasts and I’m so over joyed that no one is saying the exact same thing there is a definite difference in the same verses but it is the spirit that touches the soul and feeds the mind it is helping uplift one another in the feasting upon gods words there’s so much to say and my talent at expressing these thoughts is lacking. Thank you for your time and effort it is a wonderful way to get me through the day
You have helped me a lot in understanding of the scriptures. I like starting the day listening to you
Always enlightening and with such open perspective. Love that you always speak respectfully and give credit to the great people from other faiths.
This is such an underrated channel. The insights and teachings are so rich and they significantly help me in my personal scripture study. It's not supposed to replace perstonal study but it makes scripture study a lot more interesting. Great job and keep it up!
Truly the saints that stopped and listened to the early spread of the Word, were Unshaken. To suffer the ridicule of the "Great and spacious building", and hold fast to the Word during those pioneering times of the Restoration... are UNSHAKABLE.
Thanks for your videos every week. Behind the sacrament, and reading the conference talks again, your videos are the third best thing about my sabbath day! Thanks for your time every week!!! Love from Adelaide South Australia
I really enjoy these lessons, learning a lot more than ever, since I'm the only one in my family that enjoys the scriptures. this really hit me hard, only because I have not been active for several plus several more years. I am divided, but LDS teachings keeps pulling on my heart to keep on studying.
Keep up the great work.
Thank you for you preparation, and testimony!
I treasure your teachings as I treasure the word of God. You are truly gifted and yet humble as you share your knowledge and testimony of the true Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know the Lord as I am known and I know you are truly known of the Lord being both loved and blessed. I have been taught from on high, but you teach much like the Master. You help unpack His words so well I feel like I'm back in His presence. Thanks for all your efforts, studies, time & talents you share so freely with us all. Zion has been written upon my heart, mind & soul since before my birth and you have renew the wind in my sails to help me reach that port of safety in my aging body in time to fulfill my mission here upon this earth. In the end it's about Jesus Christ and all he has done for mankind as he inspires his instruments to do his bidding before that great & dreadful day. Thanks for fanning the fire that both blows the wind and inspires. I'm a graveyard night watchman who enjoys holy places as I study with you in the heart of Salt Lake City alone at night from men, but never alone from God.
You prepared me so much with this chapter to speak at our Primary’s priesthood and temple prep night. Thank you. Your mission and calling truly is to wake up souls.
Thank you so much very spiritual, deeply felt the spirit.
What a beautiful description of the Atonement! Thank you again this week!
Thank you for your insights. I would never have considered the significance of the passive voice without your comments. Very grateful!
I love the subject of your dissertation. I've read a bit about Paine and his words were so disturbing about the Bible or other religious beliefs. It reminds me of a the quote by Twain: "For your race, in its poverty, has unquestionably one really effective weapon--laughter. Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution --these can lift at a colossal humbug--push it a little--weaken it a little, century by century; but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand." I am so heartened by the fact that it still stands. It's a testimony of its truth.
Nani & Paul Higa, again Thank you for another Fantastic lesson D&C 45 . Today is Paul's Birthday and listening to the scriptures is preferred to finish up the lesson. We enjoy so much by the way you teach us. We can understand very clearly and know that the Lord loves us. As he gives us every chance to come on to him. It is a beautiful day on Kauai. We Love you Brother Halverson , Stay safe
wear your Mask and continue teaching the gospel and share it with everyone... Aloha
When you spoke about being a stranger here, it reminded me of a time when I was young, long before I found the church. I remember sitting in my parents home and the thought came into my head - I don't belong here, what am I here for? I didn't understand this until I joined the church at age 38 and heard the hymn ' O My Father'.
Such a beautiful realization. Thank you for sharing!
I will stand to be judge all eyes on me and I watch and hear everything I have done on earth and watching my weakness and sins .. then My Saviors stands and all eyes are on him.. when I hear your words describing this .. my heart breaks and I cry .. .. thank you brother Havelson for bringing all this alive to a point to be able to feel like if I was there in the presence of my Father and Jesus defending me through the atonement....... Thank you, God bless you and your family ... every time I listen and each time relisten over and over again "I hear Him" in deep levels.. the more I read scriptures and I hear the lessons that you teach us ..and teach me ... Thank you brother Havelson.
Use your insights to compliment our daily family scripture study. We are so grateful for all the effort, technical, spiritual, and time wise, that you dedicate to make and share these delicious spiritual knowledge. We are so grateful!
Gracias, obrigada. I am very grateful for your talent and gift that Father in Heaven blessed you. Thank you for explaining the scriptures.
Thanks a lot for these videos. My husband and I live in Belgium and enjoy your lessons. Adding so much to our Scriptures study.
Prayers from Liège Belgium
You bless my life so much. Thank you!
Thank you so MUCH, BRO HALVORSEN 💞🙏🧓
This might be one of the best you’ve ever done...they are all great. Thank you 🙏
Wonderful, Thank you.
Thank you so much for the time and effort that you put into teaching us. I listen to you every week and learn more and more. I loved the story of the alarm clock. I’ve also just been called to Gospel doctrine and will look forward to your comments so that I can be a better teacher I am amazed at your knowledge and your ability to express it through scripture and your testimony. Thank you please keep having an shaken videos
I would love to see the millennium. When children won't have to live in fear nor be abused or hungry. I'd love to grow a garden when the earth is healed. Oh it would be glorious.
"I'd love to grow a garden when the earth is healed." Oh yes! I so agree. Gardening in the climate I live in is so challenging, but God blesses it.
@@terristucki7740 it's almost impossible here too. After managing greenhouses for years I understand and know how it's just difficult to do. It takes a lot of work and God's love. Im so glad you have that. Great blessing.
Thank you for making the scriptures come alive to us. We love your “classes” each week.
Great lesson ... again. My husband and I never miss. I especially liked the active/passive voice discussion on vs 52. I also like to read 52 as a declaration with which the Jews will be very familiar - I Am: He who was lifted up. I Am: Jesus that was crucified. I Am: the Son of God.
this is one of the best series/one of my favorite channels
It is one big classroom- Dear Teacher,Teaching to change lives !And we are all enlisted ‘till the Conflict is Over !💪❤️👏
No
Happy are we...happy are we!
@@miragestarr Come what May , and love it Joseph Wirthlin ❣️💪🎉
@@vickydittfield9822 Exactly!
Thank you so much!! ❤️🎉🙏🏼
" The book is always better".I love it😇👍
I feel like we are one big classroom in the sky-uplifted-Almost see Enoch and his people waving to us. Thank you for your devotion Brother Halverson. Finishing anything new is an achievement. Joseph had some big words for his education but then the life experiences would have had him grow up real quick. Hope is wonderful and faith is strong and scripture study helps balance the why I choose to sink my should into all things good.
So glad we're studying D&C,I feel the spirit in each lesson,peace be with you brother Jared.
I am always waiting for your weekly video, so thank you so much for the time you take to study and share the scripture with us.
Thank you so much for your time in bringing these lessons to us. I love learning from you.
Thank you Brother Jared for this lesson
Thank you Bro Halverson for the sacrifice of your time to share these podcasts with us.
Speaking of our handling of trial and persecution, 'mocking,' as we know, has always accompanied the saints in every era. As a convert I've experienced this from the beginning. What helped me were these verses from the New Testament regarding the apostles attitude to this.
"Beloved think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to unto you, but rejoice inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christs sufferings; that when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye..." 1 Peter : 12,13
Also Acts :5, 40,- 42.
Thank you brother Halverson! I am so grateful for your channel. 😊
Thank you for all time and effort you put into these videos. I appreciate your insights and background information. I am developing a whole different attitude toward the Doctrine and Covenants.
I live in central British Columbia.
Thank you very much, so much to learn in chapter 45. Depend on us how to live our life, God always keep his promises😍👏
This was great. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and putting it in away that I can understand and see
How the Lord is amazing with all of us.
I love the deep insight of the world all about us today as well as how it was during the time of Joseph Smith and the Lord's answer to help us all find our way through. So many deep but simple truths here other Christian Churches do not have and so much clarity as to what we must do to be not deceived. I note that one must be able to know and see all the wonderful inner workings and relationships of each of the Saints as we work to become of one mind and one heart within every detail of the administrated gospel of Christ as it is taught and practiced.
It might be of interest to some to know that Independence, MO Stake is Celebrating 50 years of existence this year. We who live here had a wonderful celebration gathering on the green yesterday that included talent from many cultures throughout the world. We also put together a time capsule of who we are to be opened 50 years from now.
Really a FABULOUS lesson today!
Thank you again!
I had more time today to study scripture. I'm thankful for these videos. Christ being our mediator, the scriptures in 1 Corinthians, these touched my heart.
Wow, this was wonderful! Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowlede in such a humble, simple and understandable manner. Please thank your wife and children for sacrificing time with you while you help us all on our journey back to our Heavenly Father and Saviour. My husband and I are new here but enjoy each precious moment learning together.
Thank you for all your preparation! Just finished "The Second Coming of the Lord" by E' Lund for the 2nd time. Fantastic book on par with our scripture study.
Thank You 😊
I am looking forward to the great day of the Lord now that understand Matthew 24 and D and C 45 better. Thank you.
I love the way you teach! I feel your passion for what you are teaching....In your "spare" time it would be nice to have you teach the first 2 books from the Book of Mormon. I always struggle with the Isaiah Chapters. Keep up the great work you are a natural at this!
I just love hearing your peaceful and gentle voice talk about the gospel. Thank you so much for all you are doing
This lesson was beautiful! Thank you so much for helping me to see things in relation to how they apply to me and the ‘here and now’. I am so excited to be living in the time that prophets have foretold since the beginning of time. Having said that, I have to occasionally remind myself that faith drives out fear and realign myself to focus on the wonderful things the Lord has promised to the faithful and not get caught up in worrying about the ‘scarier’ happenings.
Bit of a coincidence, I was listening and napping in my vehicle before work. Going back to listen again, but as my alarm was going off to work, I was at the point that said "waking up" 😉
We apparently wait with eager anticipation for your every video. I had many more streaming viewers watching your video than in previous months. It would be nice, if they click to your videos directly. Yet, I appreciate that they watch by any direction they are able to connect. Again, Thanks.
Thank you!!!
Thank you for your inspiring videos! Laura from Germany
Absolutely love this explanation of the Savior as our advocate. Strengthened my testimony of Him in a way that hasn't happened in quite some time. :)
I love each lesson and hopefully you can continue to make them.all of my friends and some family members enjoy watching them as much as I.
I wish we could talk.
You have been a great student and teacher.
I love each section ❤️😊❤️🙏
Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!! ❤️🙏🏼🕊❤️🎊🥳🎉
I LOVE TO LEARN FROM YOU
Wow that went by fast!! Really enjoy your CFM lessons, thank you for the efforts to do this. I'm over the age of 32, so because of that am not "allowed" to take any Institute classes. These videos really help me, and there's no tests!!
So much to say, but I'll keep it simple. Thank you!
I loved what you expounded on with verse 9! (About 34:00). And verse 10, oh my goodness!
The great and spacious building that is the only job is to criticize and make a joke of the Gospel Jesus Christ. It was even when the Lord was upon the Earth , Noah, Joseph Smith and so many others even now Satan is hard at work. Trying to change the direction of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The bad thing of it is the people that are misled and cheated out of their great inheritance. It's so sad when you have so many misleading people. I just don't want to be in their shoes when they meet our Lord at judgment time. I feel sad and heartbroken that these people would try and lie and mislead the people. They have a choice just as we do, Choice matters and your words. We are all grateful for the come follow me program. It is the Lord's work and I'm grateful for it. Stand firm on your foundation of Christ. Keep building your testimony. Pray always and read those scriptures, it is a must that you put on your armor of God daily so these fiery darts Satan's missionaries cannot penetrate. I am so grateful and privileged to be apart of this great church of Jesus Christ ! Also to be living in this great nation🇺🇸 thank the Lord we have President Nelson and a12 Apostles to lead us in these last days!
Isaiah 35:1-2 (KJV) The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
I know the place Joesph Smith talked about and this is the year it will be revealed.
Blessings Friend
very good ,thank you!
Thank you so much for this wonderful lesson. It made my Sabbath day special.Thank you for your wisdom and also your wonderful humor. We are so blessed.
Hilarious about the toilet papering story!! 😂
I’m laughing so hard!! I used to toilet paper all the time! Oh those days were fun😊
Brother Halverson it says “if possible, they shall deceive the very elect, who are elect according to the covenant “
It’s the “ if possible” that is so important. The scriptures speak of promises for those that are striving for sanctification and therefore it is more important to teach sanctification to become elect then to use that scripture to generate fear.
Hello Brother Jared. I was wondering if it would be possible for you to list the name of the paintings that you share in your lessons in the description box that is provided. That would be really great. thank you.
I am so very thankful for your teaching. Back in Alma 5 it was amazing to me how you put the talk from Jorge up on that section I have that talk from 2014 saved on my phone. What would you do if one minute from now you stood before the savior?
Amen! Such a powerful talk!
I loved this section! I love the painting of Christ descending in the darkness in the Book of Mormon . Do you mind sending me the link. Thank You
